I'd just like to add here that soloing blues and even light blues as a monk was always hit and miss in classic. Mend aside, it was always tough even if you got a mend off. Light blues were never trivial and could easily take off 15% of your health (if they had a miss streak) and up to 60+% of your health if they had a hit streak.
I always remember that about monks most prominently. Sometimes you'd hit every shot and kick ass, sometimes you'd miss every shot. And sometimes the mob would hit every shot, and sometimes it'd miss every shot.
It was always very dodgy like that, and i never remember being able to "reliably solo" as a monk other than literally waiting 6 minutes every fight so i had mend and full health. My experiences soloing as a monk on this server (such as raster) are extremely similar to my experiences on live classic back in the day.
And another thing, "blue" is very generic. Some blues rip me to shreds even at 50 with good gear, and some blues are pussy cats.
